Join without prefix

[Anonymous]

I have a Customer Table and an Order Table.  Both tables have a matching Order field however the Order field in the Customer Table has a 3 string character prefix whereas the Order field in the Order Table does not.  What is the best way to join these tables if I want to remove the 3 character prefix from the Order field in the Customer Table? 

Customer Table
OrderID	CategoryName
adr-10413	Men´s Clothes
gty-10500	Womens wear
lok-10832	Womens wear
poi-10923	Womens wear
mnb-10413	Womens wear
vfg-10425	Womens wear
seq-10832	Sportwear

Try using the subfield() command, here is an example that returns just 10413

    SubField('adr-10413', '-' ,  2 )

It is described in the Help String functions ‒ Qlik Sense

Thank you.  Can you show me where to insert "SubField('adr-10413', '-' ,  2 )" in the script below from the Data Load Editor?

You can use Bill's expression in [OrderID-Category] table as

Subfiled(OrderID,'-',2) as NewID --- alias

[pradosh_thakur]

SET ThousandSep=',';

SET DecimalSep='.';

SET MoneyThousandSep=',';

SET MoneyDecimalSep='.';

SET MoneyFormat='$#,##0.00;-$#,##0.00';
